American "A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness." - Robert Frost
Every night I cry myself to sleep All I ever ask Is for someone to hold me And tell me it'll all be okay But not just any someone I need you But that's the problem, you see Because you're the reason for my tears You're off enjoying life While I'm left in the dust Dealing with the pain I hope she makes you happy Then rips it all away Next time maybe you'll be the one Crying yourself to sleep Heartbroken over someone While trying not to make a peep

Your eyes reminded me of the ocean Not just in color But in behavior as well They were wild, set on a certain goal But there were also spots of calmness And they both shared an immense depth Like the ocean, very few people would ever Get a chance to explore the depth Many people will try Few will prevail There was a sparkle in your eyes That was where you hid the love The ocean loves the shore Which is why it always returns Almost the way your eyes Always returned to me Your eyes reminded me of the ocean Wild Calm Deep Loving

You're Gone Now - I'll Be In The Ocean
As I looked into your eyes I can see it We are finally over You didn't have to say a word I could see it in your actions Your eyes no longer lit up when you saw me You stopped clinging to my every word Your hand won't find mine Every time we're near We are finally over Which breaks my heart to know

Over
I looked for you today Just like yesterday And even tomorrow I will always look for you One day hoping That our eyes will meet And you'll remember me And what I meant to you Maybe you'll briefly regret Leaving me

Always Searching
Maybe I made it all up The way you smell The way you taste The way you laugh Maybe it was fake The way you looked at me The way you made me feel The way you smiled Maybe it wasn't real Maybe you weren't real Maybe I never even knew you

What Is Real
I dreamt of you last night Images of you and I danced beneath my eyelids We were happy I was happy You still loved me Oh, what a thought I should have known it wasn't real I just wanted to believe it was People believe it's been months since I've seen you But the truth is I see you every night In the dreams you are still mine I never want to wake up Oh, how I miss you

I'll See You Tonight
The rain is so beautiful Not in the way it looks But in the way it loves The droplets wait all day and night Until they are ready to fall Towards their love -- the ground They spend their last moments Caressed upon the grass Giving it its life and beauty They sacrifice themselves for them You remind me of the rain

Falling Rain
I basked in the sun As the sea salt wind Spiraled around me I dug my feet in the cool sand And closed my eyes Just living in the moment I glanced to the right Only to meet your gaze The way you looked at me Assured me of all the things You were too scared to say The smile on your face Warmed my heart Then I realized If there were such thing as a perfect instant This would be it

The Way You Look At Me
It's an unbreakable circle That I know is true I'll always anticipate the next day That I get to spend with you It's an unbreakable circle Between you and me You will lie and let me down Which will make me want to flee It's an unbreakable circle One sent from above We'll end up making up And fall back in love
